How about you stating what you feel a typical binary zero order
based arthmetic coder would code one thousand bytes of all zero
followed by one thousand bytes of all ones. Acatually a good zero
order binary bit compressor would as a limit compress any permutation
of the above bit string to the same length file give or take one byte.
How good can your coder do. Or is it that you can't do something this
simple?
